The UNM Safe Mobility Action Plan aims to improve campus safety for bikes, scooters, skateboards, pedestrians, and all other forms of active micromobility transportation. Recently, a Mobility Day of Action took place at three locations across Central and North campus, including at Redondo Drive & Yale Blvd., Cornell Mall, and near Fitz Hall.
UNM Campus Capital & Space Planning (CCSP) staff, student volunteers, and consultants, Pland Collaborative, engaged students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors on safe mobility concerns. The feedback gathered about active transportation is shaping the Safe Mobility Action Plan's priorities. Two of the outreach locations featured a pop-up mobility lane for active micromobility transportation, giving users a firsthand experience to safely ride along a dedicated lane while avoiding conflicts with pedestrians. Building off this feedback from the UNM community, the UNM CCSP staff and consultants are now drafting the Safe Mobility Action Plan with a final plan coming at the end of April.
UNM Campus Capital Space & Planning (CCSP) is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and accessible campus environment by strategic use and development of UNM’s capital resources and physical assets. Through strategic initiatives like the Safe Mobility Action Plan, CCSP continues to enhance student life, sustainability, and campus infrastructure while ensuring a safe and welcoming experience for all members of the community.
